3.3 Compatibility to SIMATIC PCS 7
Functional Compatibility to SIMATIC PCS 7
• CPU 416-2 PCI can communicate with another AS 41x via communication
blocks (interconnected in CFC) and physically via the Industrial Ethernet
interface integrated in Box PC 620.
• CPU 416-2 PCI can communicate with an OS server via the on-board
Industrial Ethernet interface in Box PC 620.
• The "Compile and Download Objects" function in SIMATIC Manager can be
used for the configured CPU 416-2 PCI.
• The time synchronization of the CPU 416-2 PCI can be configured similar to
the S7-41x CPUs in HW Config.
The time synchronization between the OS and CPU within the Box PCs can be
established in the WinAC time synchronization dialog via a central clock (clock
master) on the plant bus (Industrial Ethernet) or via the local PC clock of the
Box PCs.
Special Features as Compared to SIMATIC PCS 7
